I have some spyware on my mac. At least I suspect it to be. My fire fox recently will say page failed to load would you like to continue running script http://b.voicefive.com/ ( a lot more letters numbers and stuff)

What is the best way to go about getting rid of this spyware?

might help, go to system preferences then security safety, then just shut everything off.
if not finder look up spyware in your library, then drag it to the trash then empty the trash and it should be fine.

I thought Macs cant get viruses...? Why would you need spyware if they dont get viruses?

I got this new script thing popping up and aparently it is used to look at all the sites you have been to and can even activate your webcam with out you knowing. Kind of weird.
